Fall 1999

The world of “Hunters” is unique—whether it’s finding treasure or rare food, they possess the power and wealth that ordinary humans lack. But becoming a Hunter isn’t a game; it requires passing a terrifying exam where success is almost impossible, and the threat of death looms at every step.

Meet Gon Freecss, a 12-year-old innocent but enthusiastic young man, who sets out to take this “Hunter Exam” in hopes of finding his missing father. On this journey, he meets three unique individuals: Kurapika, who is burning with the desire to avenge his family, Leorio, who dreams of becoming a doctor, and Killua Zoldyck, a mischievous but full-fledged warrior of Gon’s age. These four friends face the world’s toughest test, embarking on an adventure that puts both their friendship and their lives to the test.

After escaping a ferocious ocean storm, Monkey D. Luffy escapes locked in a barrel. He seems like a simple guy, but don’t take that lightly. Luffy himself is a pirate who wants to find the world’s greatest treasure, the ‘One Piece,’ and become King of the Pirates.

Since the ancient King Gol D. Roger mentioned this treasure before his death, millions have lost their lives in pursuit of it. Luffy initially has no team or ship, but he possesses a magical body and an unwavering spirit. He faces every obstacle on the way with a smile and slowly, with the help of his close friends, he sets out on this unique adventure.
